Stayed there for five days. Paid $750 a night for our villa which was beautiful. Our personal butler was totally charming. I really splurged on this vacation and, in spite of what I've already said I was a bit disappointed. I'm 60 and arthritic, could not visit the spa as it was a long walk and transportation was poor. It was a nice experience but, I will, next time I decide to travel to Asia, choose another place.
When you want to have a good splurge, then Begawan Giri is the place. I visited once and it was so beautiful. After you wake up in the morning, you can take a walk down to Ayung River and sit down besides the river, or you can also start your day with a Yoga. Food is not great, I think they should have a new chef, but the rest is more than perfect for you who want to just have a relax and non-busy Bali days.

the originally architecture is absolutely unique and a great idea behind this paradise! but now they add modern components like you find all over the world and the service slows down. In the restaurant they offer wines you find in supermarkets on the cheap end. A lost overprised paradise.

Wonderful place! We spend the 1st two nights in the Master's Suite at the Wanakasa residence and our last two nights at the Owner's residence and it was magical. Food was not that great at the hotel but the scenery and tranquillity makes up for it. The spa was wonderful but a hell of climb to get to and back!

...we visited twice and became to feel like it was our home! SO peaceful and so nurturing. The utmost privacy and an immediate response to whatever our wishes were. Really and incredible, holistic place.
